Review summary

Users praise Maxthon for its speed and strong bookmark management with solid cross-device sync (notably between Windows and Android). However, feedback frequently highlights privacy concerns due to repeated location/data permission prompts, and a lack of essential blockers (no ad blocker) and extensions. Stability suffers with crashes, freezes, and slowdowns after updates, and some devices report compatibility issues. Support/update responsiveness is also mentioned. Overall, Maxthon shows promise for bookmarks and syncing, but privacy nagging, missing blockers/extensions, and reliability problems hinder Android use.

Pros

Fast performance
Excellent bookmark management with cross-device synchronization (works well across Windows and Android)
Good synchronization features and cross-platform consistency for bookmarks

Cons

Intrusive permission requests for location and other data (privacy concerns)
No ad blocker / poor content blocking on Android
Stability issues: crashes, freezes, and hangs after updates
Device compatibility and update-related problems (some devices show incompatibility)
Missing features like extensions and built-in VPN

2026-06-08	Za*****	I see you guys have updated the browser but nothing has changed, please improve this project! Your uuGPT and a strong AdBlock needs to be included here, I am begging. I have been following this for years and I would be glad to see these features included, maybe even a VPN. Thank you for keeping this alive.

2025-12-25	ug*****	karanlık temaya sahip değil. night mode berbat çalışıyor, siteleri karanliklastirmaktan ziyade daha çok bozuyor. örneğin ayarlara girip bir menüye tikladiktan sonra geri donerseniz bir önceki pencereye atmak yerine ana sayfaya atilirsiniz ve ayarlari kontrol etmek için bunu tekrarladiginizda sekmelerinizi kontrol ettiğiniz kisimda bir sürü ana sayfa görürsünüz. reklam engelleyici ve built-in vpn eksik, bilgisayar versiyonundaki maxthon'a göre. kaldi ki mobil maxthon neden reklam içeriyor?
